So spring is nearly here and many of you maybe be looking for lighter on trend outerwear, so I thought why not blog about must have coats for the London spring weather. I decided to focus on array of diferent designs all in fitting with the transition from winter to spring and from spring to summer. Each coat is well within the average London wage and is sure to make those fashionista amongst us turn and stare.

The coats (and trench): The pink duster -is has a A-line cut that will lengthen your body shape (if that is something that worries you) and along witht Zara double breatsed and stone draped New Look trench can easily be paired with your Nikes, heels in fact any footwear.....But to give these coats  maximum effect it would be best paired with a body shaping dress in a cool nude tone or if your not fussy just black......and ta da an instant Kim K look. For the double breasted coat I would advised this coat be best paired with skinnies or for a fuller effect -a full length primary coloured opaqued suite with the coat draped across your shoulders with slicked hair and a red lip.  

The sleeveless effect has been long overdue.....Mango, Missguided and Zara have been stocking this design since AW/15 ! New Look and River Island have now enetered the game..... for look ideas I have done two looks on how to rock 'The sleeveless trench' look. Wether you decided to rock this with a crop top or plain white shirt there is no denying this is a must have item. This design of jacket can be taken into the summer season and easily paired with your fav high waisted shorts, white t-shirt and converse, for the casual look-a pair of ripped jeans a muted top will work perfectly and for those itimate dates a tigh fitting dress that accentuate the waist will be perfect along with a large clutch and minimal jewllery.    

I hope these lookbook tips have been has been useful if you have any questions please leave a comment below

Whilst enroute to a quick Nibble at Browns Canary Wharf  I decided to do an OOTN. I wore only simple whites and creams with a few bold items to compliment i.e shoes and bag.

Zara Must Haves on a Budget

Starting from top left to bottom right

Large Messengers :Reversible Contreat Shopper (various colours) £29.99  //  TRF: Tassel Budget in Black £29.99 //Handbags: Quilted Mini Bowling Bag £19.99

 // Messenger Bags:Compartmented Bucket Bag £19.99

So as all you fashionista may have noticed we are nearing the era of our fall/winter collections and slowly falling into SS/15....but before the big clear out and restocking off our pale opaques SS/15 purchases. I deceided to pick a few budget pieces from Zara that were affordable and could be used throughout the transitional period . All pieces and prices will be listed below. I decided to limit all cost to within a £30, as fashion does not always need to cost you and arm and a leg -thats if you now were to look. And also our main clothing budgets will be going to out new SS/15 wears....of course

Starting with the top left, the design immediately read as MICHAEL KORS tote on a budget (a very good one at that) not only is this bag the most practical but it is also reversible enableing to change your look to a vibrant deep red, for when your mood feels like she/he is Ms Vivenne Westwood.

The second bag drew me to the Shoreditch Hipster look, perfect for those fashionistas, who love to rock the black skinny jean and mid high Chelseas-this bag is a defo must in the Brooks and Lei collection.

The quilted effect of this bag would call out to anyone with an eye for a bold symmetric design, measuring at only 12x20x12 cm, I must admit this bag is a defo "on the go bag"-so phone, (small) make up bag, keys and purse anything else would be a lil squeeze......but at £19.99 nothing else can beat this essential grab and go bag.   

So its no word of a lie this bag is for those sophisticated fashionistas amongst us it is elegant in it's design. Well  structured heels and a long line coat would definitly be this bags bestfriend.

Luxury Candles on Budget

Sweet Vanilla and Coconut candle  Primark // Passion Fruit and Vanilla Cream  Primark

So today was just not the day……a quick trip to Westfields turned out to be a full of cyclone when  enroute home. However a couple weeks before I picked up some fragrant candles from Primark for none other then £2 each (bargain) and decided today was the day I was going to set the house on fire……joking.

So by luck there were two candles that consisted of my favourite smells, they had a beautiful relaxing aroma, which would surely ease any stressed out mind. The design was also another attraction 90 degree angles and a plain font perfect for any minimalist or people who just cannot deal with fussy over bearing home decor.

I must say these candle are indeed a delight and smell amazing. Each smell is true to its description and is well worth it cost……to be honest I will be running back to get more before they are sold out! Mr Weston (owner of Primark)  I must admit you have done us proud! I am currently raising a mug of mint tea to this new find.

May I also mention Primark had an array of different smells and colours in this collection including the middle candle which is Jasmine scented.

So get buying before they are sold out.
